Resident Historian Phil Blair has been hard at it organizing committees to plan events for Oswego's 150th Birthday Celebration. The first event will be held on the actual birthday, August 10th at Riverside Park. There will be a free swim at the pool from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Then at 7:30 there will be a ceremony in the park at the middle shelter near the bluff. There will be FREE cake, ice cream and entertainment. DJ Thom Watts will be playing the most popular songs of the past 50 years! See the flyer for other entertainment details.

Be sure to bring your lawn chairs! Also, rain is in the forecast so check the City's FaceBook page on Thursday for notice of cancellation. The evening will end with FIREWORKS on the west end of the park so that area will be blocked off. Be sure not to miss this very special day!
